My alternator went out this week so I took it out, and took it in to have it rebuilt since it was not all that old and it was only a diode on the rectifier. Now installing and removing an alt is about as far as I have gotten under the hood, I am a stereo guy not a motor buy but I thought while it was out this would be a good time to put on my ported cobra intake. At least I was hoping to that I could get away with just putting the upper on since I have no idea about removing the distributor but now that I have the upper removed I see that the cobra uppper does not match up to the gt lower..... Is there anyone that could help me put the lower on as I am sure I will mess something up on that? I would hate to have to put all the GT stuff back on now that I am this far. I would certainly be willing to pay at least for the beer needed to finish it up and could trade stereo/security work if you need any done.........

As long as you are sure that it would fit, I could help you get that taken care of. I've had the upper and lower off of my mach in the past when I was playing around. Intake manifolds are rather simple, just need to be careful with things so you don't strip anything out.

What year of GT do you have?

I can help you in exchange for a box that fits two 12" subs plus cash if needed. I've done what you are doing twice. I live in the gilbert area and would be happy to help you! i have the same car as your and i just put the same exact intake manifold on mine

that sounds like what I am lookin for fella's, the more the marrier if we can arrange it. I am an idiot around engines, but not around a wrench. I have the intake, gaskets, and all the odds and ends I think to do it otherwise there are 2 autozones in a short distance away I would just prefer to have somebody with some experience.

yellowgt - thought you were sellin her? I can still help you out though. One box for 2 -12s doesn't fit through the trunk whole so I have built 2 individual boxes to get past this in the past. Be happy to help.

At this point I have the upper removed. I am near val vista and ray.

I think I called that store yesterday, you didn't talk to a guy on the phone about a throttle position sensor yesterday did ya? If so you might get a call from the same dude to see how much a rotor, cap, cables and some plugs cost.....

I have a truck I am using while the stang it torn apart so while I do not NEED it today/tomorrow but it would be nice. If you want to speed it up a little bit feel free to give me a call if you want fellas.
